Hello all,
I’m researching the Charger .303 inch, Mark V and have a copy of drawing IDW 4539, which shows the fully formed charger.
I am now trying to locate the flat sheet-metal blank (the pre-formed strip layout / pressing pattern) used before the charger was shaped. This may exist as a separate drawing — often listed as a “blank,” “pressing,” “development,” “strip layout,” or “tooling” drawing, and may have a number close to 4539 (e.g., 4539A, 4540, etc.).
If anyone has:
I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you,
Ian

If anyone has:
- the flat blank drawing,
- a press-tool drawing,
- a strip-feed layout, or
- any tool-room reference numbers relating to the Mark V charger,
I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you,
Ian
